Git has a nice colored output for status, using

$ git runstatus --color

However, this --color is not made available to git-status itself.

AFAIR there have been attempts to enable this by default, when git-status 
is run interactively (i.e. its output is not piped). However, this proved 
to be remarkably complex, given that the output of runstatus _is_ piped.

It would definitely be cool to have it enabled by default, but just
having the option (which means in particular that users can use it in
an alias) should be the minimum.

I don't have enough experience with git hacking to do all the way you
suggest, so I'm starting with easy things ;-).
